[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 105294, member: 1991"] It's an interesting point. I wouldn't waste my time and effort suing him - he's got no money anyhow, it would achieve zero, even if we won. It would then only prove a limited point. At this stage I'm counting on her not seeing it because there isn't a convention for six months or more; the only circulation at the moment is limited to his friends, most of whom are interstate (and one of whom is difficult child 1). Those friends who know them both, have their own ideas. When looking JUST at the comic book most recognise a strong resemblance to easy child 2/difficult child 2, sufficient to say it's based on her. The main exceptions are those who took HIS side in the break-up and now are trying to make light of how badly he treated her. That includes his old mates from school, and difficult child 1's best friend's girlfriend. But they haven't seen the colour pics which are VERY like easy child 2/difficult child 2, plus they show clothing of easy child 2/difficult child 2 design which doesn't exist outside her own wardrobe. She used variations on those designs in her submission to get into fashion design classes. One skirt in particular - tartan skirt with rips and safety pins, he's even got the safety pins placed where she has them. Definitely not random. And the same corsets (one-offs again, made by a costumier designer in a small back street of Sydney). We would be easily able to make a case that it's her, based on the colour drawings. If I showed them to you and then told you to pick easy child 2/difficult child 2 out of a line-up, you would have no trouble, even in a line-up of other Goth girls. Star, your description of events is creepily similar. If easy child 2/difficult child 2 gets upset when she finds out and wants to do things inadvisable, I will instead suggest your option to her. We have plenty of photos we could use as a basis for sketches, he is VERY distinctive in appearance. When he blogged nastily, she was about to blog nastily back but we stopped her, told her that's how wars escalate. While we kept copies of everything, she instead wrote blogs describing how free she felt and how happy she was just skipping in the sunshine - no mention of losing him or anything unpleasant. When he finally rang to ask her to get back together (and tried to pretend he'd not written any blog) she congratulated him on his good judgement for breaking up, said it was a sound decision which she was bound to respect. This could all disappear into a black hole of indifference. If there's no demand, he will be hard-pressed to print the next chapter in the story. Also, I'm hoping that now he's published this first chapter, some of the pressure inside him has been released and he may be in a better position to move on? Draw new characters, although he's clearly invested a lot of time and effort with this one. Terry, I know easy child 2/difficult child 2 doesn't know about this. She is VERY open, we would have heard the screams of outrage (initially). A later reaction may be more balanced, but she does tell me everything like this. We've even discussed the sex life they had (which confirmed for me that he had NO IDEA on how to look after his girl, or how to have a healthy relationship). I don't like to think of her being angry with him. I'd much prefer indifference. This - it's not conducive to indifference. From one point of view it IS flattering, but as Star pointed out, he did not have permission and hence it's an invasion. She just got home, I'd better close. Marg [/QUOTE]
